Making Effort itself is not Cool !!!

Making Effort itself is not Cool ...making effort for relationship building and taking care of business, to achieve anything is not considered as cool...being cool is about being(self); In other word making yourself in way that things should come along your way.

When you make effort, either you pull or you get pushed...and even with that something comes in your way is not natural...its stretched...used...pushed ..and having those is also not cool.

I could make an account here...being cool is actually art....We all lead the same lives… We all eat, sleep, socialize, take care of our finances, pursue whatever activities we decide to undertake, and do all the basic things that life may bring along.

Some however, choose or are naturally pushed to live their life in a different way..Thats cool...because being different and doing different is also cool (here its success or right).

My other friends says to another friend who seams enjoying his life at most and i will call him cool, that he must have done something in his previous life...or he is lucky to have all these in your life.

Being cool is not about what you have done..its about what you are...everything is present..bringing the past is also not cool...who cares what u were...

Becoming cool is not expensive hobby in which only the privileged can obtain as we think, since its mostly considered about dressing expensive and designer cloths, eating in expensive restaurant, driving expensive cars etc....Thats not true....Its about whatever you have..and how u present yourself with that. Dreaming about those and thinking when you will have those ...you will be cool...Itself is not cool.

Never try to make hole in Grapes..

Today...while i was having breakfast with fruits(Water melon, green melon..pineapple..and grapes) ...I screwed up with my shirt while i was making a hole in grapes to catch in fork using glass plates....I was struggling to catch one specific for more than a 2 minutes and then finally tired ..used a lot of presser on one sliding face available...sssshhhhhhut...It shoot me with speed and throwing the fruit juice allover my office shirt..... :))

Helping Hands - Don Bosco Shelters

Children in Shelters Don Bosco(Lonavala) with Father Barnabee(on extreme right), Helping Hands members (Dr Sunita Shanbhag in middle, Prabha in front, Anjali sitting in the center, Om besides Father Barnbee, Manish at the back)

For some children the streets are where they look to find their home, their parents, their playground, their education, their health care, and their love. For others, the streets are where they work, from as early as sunrise to as late as midnight. To be street children is the plight of so many young children in the capital city of Mumbai!

Causes of Street ChildrenThe unemployment status of many parents, peer pressure, unwillingness to submit to parental control, parental neglect, sexual abuse leading to children running away are some of the many factors leading to children being in the streets. There's an estimate of 5 Lacks children on streets of mumbai from the age of 3 to 18.

Effects of Street LifeOur social workers remind us that the negative impact of street life on children is enormous. Many street children lack basic rights such as education, family love, healthcare, good food, and safety. Other disadvantages include exposure to drugs, the risk of being knocked down by cars, harsh punishment for little offenses, the early arrival of adulthood, association with the wrong people and criminals, and loss of family ties and particularly sexual abuse by the so called dadas on streets.

Don Bosco - WadalaIn Don Bosco Homes, to be in contact with a street child means the child benefits from Don Bosco Homes programs: facilities and services. Monthly documentation figures show that Don Bosco Homes is reaching some 5000 Mumbai street children with counseling, medical attention, advocacy, feeding, legal-aid, skills training for older boys willing to do so, family reunification, literacy, academic assistance, games, and football. The children themselves run to Don Bosco Homes centers when in trouble or when they are sick.

Don Bosco - LonavalaThe Don Bosco Lonavala unit is a drug rehabilitation center for this street children. After undergoing the physical detoxification at sion hospital, this children are taken to Lonavala for mental detoxification In Lonavala they are taught values of life, health care, Yoga, to read and write, develop some skills of their own like "mechanics, tailoring etc.". After finishing the 3 months rehabilation program, children start to dream about their future and Shelters - Don Bosco tries to fulfill their dreams. Its really very pleasing to be associated with this great institute. Helping Hands is a direction to help the society in any way its possible for them. Shelters is our current direction.

अहम और अंहकार (Ego and Excessive pride) !!

Both ego and excessive pride comes due to one's possessions, material wealth, intelligence or powers.

There is nothing wrong to keep your Ego, but sure not excessive pride.

Definition looks same but not: Both gives an individual the feeling that he is superior to others. Ego is positive but excessive pride is negative because It leads to envy, feelings of enmity, and restlessness amongst people.

Without Ego, world would have never come in this shape that we see now.

Lets Talk About My Believe!!

Lot of people asks me, whats my religion, I always answer with I don't follow any religion in particular neither i practice. But I do have faith/believe which is mostly called humanity. Some of my faith has great influence of My Guru Satnam(True Name) and some after combined study of many other religions.

Here is Saar(Main Point):

Truth is God and thats the form of god i respect.Truth is the most precious jewel, one can wear it.Truth teaches you Sadbhavna(good feelings), Satvik Vichar(pure/positive Thoughts), these has been the reason for growth of Human race.Love is biggest and unlimited form of punji(stake) you could have.God lives in form of your thoughts.I respect intelligence and intelligent people.

You'll Think of Me

Keith Urban - You'll Think of Me

I woke up early this morning around 4amWith the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstateI pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleepbut thoughts of us kept keeping me awakeever since you found yourself in someone else's armsi've been trying my best to get alongbut thats okay there's nothing left to say but

I went out driving trying to clear my headI tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left so,I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of thisAnd all the baggage that seems to still existIt seems the only blessing I have left to my nameIs not knowing what we could have beenWhat we should have beenSo

{repeat chorus}

Someday I'm gonna run across your mindDon't worry, I'll be fineI'm gonna be alrightWhile you're sleeping with your prideWishing I could hold you tightI'll be over youAnd on with my life

Karma Defined by Om Baghel

Karma: Actions performed in this life (In Hinduism it accounts past life as well), the fruit of your of your actions is sum of your bad and good karma.

Some who believes in that and some just think don't, religious believe can change your perspective over karma. Good part of it, that i like the most is..whatever you do, you will get back the same..so if you do good karma ...you get the same in result...but again then there are millions are bad karma people living happily and billions of good karma people are not happy with what they have.

Karma->You can have different karma for your body, your mind and your soul. A different personality can exist in single person based your karma for your body, mind and soul.
